2. Dedication For Healing Psalm 30:2

Text:“O
Lord my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me." Psalm 30:2“Call unto Me, and I will answer thee,
and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3Good
morning, praying Christian!Are you one
of those ‘weirdoes’ who are constantly found talking (praying) to some Person
that you cannot touch, feel, taste, or see?I am!Praise God we are just such
worldly defined ’weirdoes’!We have been
given God’s gift of true faith; faith to believe, feel, touch, taste, and see
the Lord God Almighty, and to fellowship with this unseen Lord God,
continually, in worshipful and thankful prayer.Hallelujah!We are ’Weirdoes for
Jesus’!Glory to His Name!

“Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…But
without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must
believe that He is (I.e that He exists, even when we do not see Him!), and that
He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”(Hebrews 11:1;6)

David,
Israel’s godly Psalmist, was another one such ’weirdo’, who cried out unto the
Living Lord God Whom he couldn’t feel, taste, or see.Yet, the proof and reality of God’s existence
and Divine Presence is in the ’pudding’ of prayers answered; and Psalm 30: is a
list of prayers David prayed, that were answered for all to see.

Faith
really can ’move mountains’.Praise and
glory unto the Lord God Who hears our prayers, and answers us in His Almighty
grace and power.Amen.

“Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you; for everyone that asketh (asks, and continues to ask God)
receiveth (receives and continues to receive from God); and he/she that seeketh
findeth; and to him/her that knocketh it shall be opened.”(Matthew 7:7-8)

Verse 2.“O Lord my God, I cried
unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me.If our watch is out of order, we take it to the
watchmaker; if our body or soul be in an evil plight, let us resort to Him Who created
them and has unfailing skill to put them in right condition.As for our Spiritual diseases, nothing can
heal these evils but the touch of the Lord Christ; if we do but touch the hem
of His garment, we shall be made whole, while if we embrace all other
physicians in our arms, they can do us no service.”(C.H. Spurgeon, Treasury of David, page 144)

“Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!”This was the
plaintive cry in Jericho that day; the crying out from the heart of one who had
been bound in blindness all his life and who wanted with all his heart to be
healed, to be given his sight.Bartimaeus had heard that Jesus of Nazareth was performing great,
otherwise impossible, miracles throughout the land, and the blind man, by his
hearing, believed and because he truly believed, he cried out in a fashion in
which he was determined to be heard, “Jesus, thou son of David, have
mercy on me!”

“And
Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole.And immediately he received his sight, and
followed Jesus in the way.”(Mark
10:46-52)

“So
then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17)

“Call
unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which
thou knowest not.”(Jeremiah 33:3)

Hear
our late brother Spurgeon on this matter of Divine Healing:“No doubt some are held back from such action
by the freezing power of despair. They have reached the conclusion that there
is no hope for them.The promises of the
Gospel they regard as the voice of God to others, but as having no cheering
word for them.When men have no hope,
they soon have no fear.Is not this a
dreadful thing?May the Lord save you
from such a condition!Despair of God’s
mercy is an unreasonable thing: if you think you have grounds for it, the lying
spirit must have suggested them to you.Holy Scripture contains no justification for hopelessness.Neither the nature of God, nor the Gospel of
God, nor the Christ of God, warrant despair.Multitudes of texts encourage hope; but no one Scripture, rightly
understood, permit’s a doubt of the mercy of God.‘All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men.’Jesus, the great
Healer, is never baffled by any disease of human nature; he can cast out a
legion of devils, and raise the dead.Oh
that I could whisper hope into the dull ear of yonder mourner!Oh that I could drop a rousing thought into
the sullen heart of the self-condemned!How glad I should be!”(C.H.
Spurgeon, Sermons on the Miracles, page 71)

“Call
unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which
thou knowest not.”(Jeremiah 33:3)

There
is an old adage that says, ‘There is none so blind as him who will not
see.’Self-will can blind us to the
existence of God, and thus, to the healing power of God according to His will
and Eternal purpose.Only believe, dear
reader, believe in Christ.

Thought:
Sin is an Eternal disease, cry out now for Christ’s healing. He will hear.

KENNY McCLINTON was one of the most feared men in Northern Ireland (Ulster). His years of terrorist activity culminated in two life sentences for murder and other acts of terrorist violence. He had become a thorn in the side of the authorities. Even in prison he could not be tamed and found himself in solitary confinement punishment cells fifteen times within one nine month period.
